The high end Alienware device launched here is a 39 inch OLED, the first that supports the RGB Stripe Tandem OLED architecture, with an OLED native 5K resolution, of 5120x2160 pixels.

an improved text quality and color volume compared to traditional WOLED monitors
Running the display in a 2560x1080 mode ups the refresh rate from 165Hz to 330Hz.
A contrast ratio of 1.75 million 1 is boasted, along with a polarising anti reflective layer on the surface of the display to cut down the effects of light reflections in the viewing environment. In terms of performance, the response time is stated as 0.03ms G2G, while the gamut coverage of the screen is rated as 99% DCI P3, as well as being Nvidia G Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro compatible. An Esports mode is on offer, which will crop the panel to simulate smaller screens at higher refresh rates and can mimic a 24.5 inch panel at 1520x855 or a 27 inch panel at 1680x945 resolution, both running at 330Hz. For connections, the AW3926QW comes with a pair of HDMI 2.1 connections, and a DisplayPort 2.1 port as well as one USB C display alternative with DisplayPort Alt Mode and support for power delivery up to 90W.
